8 Olympians who talk about Jesus – and there’s nothing the media can do about it

4. Allyson Felix

Giving Christine Ohuruogu a literal “run” for her money is 29-year-old Allyson Felix sprinting for the United States.

“Faith leads my life. That’s definitely the reason that I run,” she says.

Allyson has a string of silver and gold medals and hopes to bring home more from Rio, which may be her last games. But she says winning isn’t the only important thing:

“It’s so easy to get caught up in winning everything… I feel that my running is a gift from God, and it is my responsibility to use it to glorify Him.”
